phals in front of a large window. They get morning sun only but at
this time of year the sun is fairly weak.

I have the daytime temps at 69 and night at 67. That's one degree
lower than usual. Is that OK?

thanks

I have one of these plants for going on 3 years and it has not
bloomed, it grows nice leaves but not a flower.I keep it indoors next
to a window and it looks healthy. When I put it outside for a spell it
did not do well the leaves turned yellow and when I brought it back in
it turned green again.It is planted in orchid soil and I feed it with
orchid food and do not overwater it.I read today in the paper that a
cloned orchid will take up to 4 years to grow a spike. I live in the
north east thanks in advance for any input.

Is this group dead or is someone available to answer a question or
two about moth orchids. I've been given one and have never had an
orchid before.

I was just wondering if someone could help me with a problem?
I’ve always loved orchids and I got one in August as a gift.
However two months later it's started to wither, and now the petals have fallen off!
I don't know much about the type of orchid I have, all I no is that it's pink and very long.
also the way I have been looking after it is just watering it once a week, and keeping it on my window ledge.
I hope some one can help, as I really don't know what to do.
many thanks ]]> Orchids suzanne bloud http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/showthread.php?t=187984
